Today's Tao
The life of man is soft and weak. (Ch.76)
The expression "soft and weak" suggests being intangible.
Why is the life of man intangible?
Because it is part of a hologram.
What is life, then?
To answer the question, movie is a perfect metaphor.
A movie does not exist as a tangible entity.
A movie is a story told on the screen where a sequence of numerous photographs is projected.
The life of man is a movie.
As the name of "movie" is given to a sequence of projected images, "life" is the name of a collection of holograms.
Technically speaking, a hologram does not change as an individual image in a film does not change.
The sequence of holograms gives us an impression that it changes.
Check
-Life does not exist as a tangible entity.
-A hologram does not change.
